There is no doubt something interesting here, but this is rather poorly written.

Agree. Extended quote of email rant is hard to appreciate.

No it's not.

The Linux Foundation is at this point the Megacorporations LUG. Members are not even required to comply with the GPL. So there is that.

The Linux Foundation is a joke. No major established FLOSS projects pay attention to them.

I'd say it's a mixed bag. There is definitely more corporate influence over these organizations. And I'm sure there are both good and bad aspects of this.

Today's MS is in many ways very different than it was 20-30 years ago. There's still some concerning processes, but overall it's different.

The problem is, despite having the rights of a person in some ways, a corporation is rarely like a person, the larger it gets the less so. It is a collection of groups and people, where one area can be very different than another. People can not come up with a single statement that will cover a large corporate entity, except in mass top down policies and a consistent implementation. But there's always give and take and always exceptions to rules.

In the end, TFA can/should call out specifics and lead from there... not apply generalities that don't hold for the most part.
